New 4M dome. We are very pleased to announce that
in early 2011 our offer will be complemented by the dome with a diameter of four

automatic observation.

Quick rotary driver for a dome

Since November 2009 we have introduced into our offer a brand new type of rotary drive for ScopeDome 3M
domes. Unlike previous one based on frictional gear, new drive employs a cog-rim
co-operating with a polyamide cogwheel. New drives will be installed as standard
in all domes, replacing the old solution.

ScopeDome USB Driver ver. 2.1 reads data from weather stations

We are happy to inform that we work on additional functions of our usb card and
driver - weather station support (temperature, pressure, humidity, raining).
Everything should be finished in one month. This solution will let check the usb
card-computer connection and finding power failures in the observatory. In the
case of any power problems, the observatory will be closed and user will be
informed about it. We hope that will make remote observations easier.
The new software version ScopeDome USB Driver 2.1 communicates with the most
popular weather - sensor Boltwood Cloud Sensor. It supports experimental cloud
sensor designed by ScopeDome and reads weather data from the cheaper (but well
working) weather stations supported by
Heavy Weather software type. Our software
is designed to use any meteorological data which can be saved on computer's hard
disc.

We work as well on replacement of rotating frictional driving system in 3m
ScopeDome to traditional driving system based on gearwheel and control it using
rotating engine with inverter.
